He Is the One
Lavender green, lavender blue
She sings; her voice suits contralto.
Magnolias are in full bloom
Each bloom like a lotus flower
Spreading its petals as if readying
Itself for Buddha's fleshy thighs.
The rill flows clear as dew
On a spring day
Caressing her feet
Azure Summer sky is a delight today
Sensing the honeydew love.
She had been in love before
Fives times.
Once in her late teens.
Four in early twenties.
Late bloomer she was.
But fast
She caught up in love
And lust.
This one is different.
He is tall, warm
And lovely.
Yes lovely!
Lovely she needs more than
Anything else today.
He offers her his arm
Getting on the fast train.
They venture into Europe
Paris, Venice, Barcelona
Then Far East.
He is the one.
She will bear him children
Soon.
